Senator Moncion: But I heard “adjournment of the Senate.” That’s what she said.

The Hon. the Speaker: My apologies. She can move the adjournment. She is on debate once I call upon her.

Senator Moncion: She said “adjournment.”

The Hon. the Speaker: On adjournment as well.

Are senators ready for the question on the main motion?

Hon. Lucie Moncion: I’m sorry, Your Honour. Senator McCallum is not on debate. I am calling on rule 5-13(2). She cannot move the adjournment of the debate.

The Hon. the Speaker: Just to clarify, colleagues, rule 5-13(2) says you must be on debate to move the adjournment of the Senate. Debate has started on Bill S-11. When I called upon Senator McCallum, I was calling upon her on debate on Bill S-11. It is, therefore, quite permissible for her to move the adjournment of the Senate.

I am now asking if there is a seconder for Senator McCallum’s adjournment motion? If there isn’t, then it cannot be entertained.

Senator Housakos, are you seconding this?

Senator Housakos: On a vote, but not on an adjournment.
